I removed the GSoC project and brought this task back to the Need Discussion column. I'm concerned about this project not having community backing, as it has been reflected in the various threads started in wikimedia-l, wikitech-l, and the discussion here. Even if these discussions are silent, they didn't end up with agreement. I'm concerned about a scenario where this project idea moves forward without that problem resolved, then one or more students start preparing proposals, and as the process goes by the discussion comes back, catching students and mentors by surprise, not ending up well. We had a couple of situations like these before, and as org admin I will do my best preventing such risk. In my opinion, no GSoC project is better than GSoC candidates losing a full round because of Wikimedia community disputes.
